“CERTI4TRAIN is a finished, high quality project, it produced a European competence matrix for CVET trainers and an ISO 17024 compliant CVET trainer certification scheme.”

“The partnership consists of four university partners (HU, UK, PG, PL) an organization which operates business mentor network (FR) and a Swiss foundation, EFCoCert who has experience in EU-level certification issues.”

“Switzerland is not a program country, but it can join the consortium as a partner country. Its participation is justified by the fact that the Swiss partner is the only organization in Europe that develops European certifications schemes for persons that are ISO 17024 compliant.”

“The project seems well thought and follows in the logic of certifying and structuring in-field acquired (formal and non-formal) competences in education (competences referential). […] the creation of the Headmaster skill card, is multisource and relevant, coming from the professional needs and practices (not just a theoretical approach). The Swiss partner has a clear experience in the subject and the right technical skills.”

“Previous experiences from the CERTITUDE project is an asset as is the will to further deepen in the same methodological direction to cover other profiles.

“The Swiss partner has a more scientific/technical role so as to provide the framework and coherence to the approach which enhances the synergy and anticipates quality results.”
